Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. For the topping, combine all of the ingredients (except the marshmallows) in a small bowl.Mix with a fork until the mixture is well combined and resembles sand. Set aside. Poke 3 or 4 holes in each sweet potato with a fork or pairing knife. Microwave them until the flesh is soft, about 5 minutes. Turn the potatoes halfway through cooking. When the potatoes are cool enough, cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving enough next to the skin to support the filling later on. Collect the flesh in a medium bowl and set aside. Place the skins on a baking sheet and bake until the edges are browned and slightly crisp, about 15-20 minutes. While the skins are cooking, combine the sweet potato flesh with the egg, brown sugar and salt. Mash with a potato masher or fork until well combined and fluffy. Do not overwork the mixture. Remove the skins from the oven and scoop the filling, dividing it evenly. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes until the topping is melty and bubbly. Remove from the oven and top each potato with marshmallows. Return to the oven and bake until the marshmallows are golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them in this stage so the marshmallows don't burn.Serve immediately.

Food Joke

A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome. He mentioned the trip to the barber who responded, "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded & dirty and full of Italians. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?" "We're taking TWA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!" "TWA?" exclaimed the barber. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?" "We'll be at the downtown International Marriott." "That dump! That's the worst hotel in the city. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they're overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there? "We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope." "That's rich," laughed the barber. "You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it." A month later, the man again came in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to Rome. "It was wonderful," explained the man, "Not only were we on time in one of TWA's brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28-year-old stewardess who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel--it was great! They'd just finished a million remodeling job and now it's the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge!" "Well," muttered the barber, "I know you didn't get to see the pope." "Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait the pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later the pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down as he spoke a few words to me." "Really?" asked the barber. "What'd he say?" He said, "Where'd you get the crappy haircut?"
